KANaAs ~ a n

Quite a lively time was had at Tope-
ka on Tuesday last, at the meeting OF
the council Of administration of the
G.. A. r. for the department of Kansas,
when the subject of the holding of the
national reunion at st. Louis and the
inviting of Cleveland to be present on
the occasion were discussed. Nearly
every member present advocated full
turnout from the state on that ocea-
sion, as one expressed it, whether
Cleveland, JEFF Davis or the devil were
present. But all were about as unan-
imously resolved that they would UNI
der no circumstances parade before
him. After thorough discussion of
the subject in all its different lights,
the following resolutions were reported
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the desire of
Council of Administrator that the sol
diers of Kansas attend the National
Encampment to be held in st. Louis in
such numbers as viii show to the coun-
try that Kansas is as loyal to-day as
she was during the war of the rebel
lion, and that her loyalty is keeping
pace with her wealth and population.
Resolved, That having implicit con-
fidence in the national and department
officers of the Grand Army of the Re
public, we assure our comrades that
they will not be called upon to recog-
niZe in parade or otherwise any persons
except those who have rendered honor.
able service in the armies of the Union
and others entitled to our respect and
confidence.
''Resolyed, That the flags captured
by the armies of the Union are sacred
trophies, and that it is our determine
tion that they shall ever be kept in the
national capital as evidence of the
heroic deeds of comrades, both living
and dead.
Resolved, That the department
commander be requested to convey thu
sentiments here expressed to their com
rades of the department by apprOpri
ate orders.

If the latter should be so there sales
would be filed at Duluth and Chicago
by buying the option back and wheat
would then be sold in Minneapolis and
shipped into milIers there. The coun-
try elevators viii have TO be closed in
August to give room for handling the
new crop. Small lots of wheat in the
country are much less common at this
season of the year both in Minnesota
and Dakota. This is true of both grain
dealers and farmers holdings. Farm
ers sold out the old stock freely on the
strength of aprospective good crop, and
grain dealers on corner prices. In old
or sections great deal of wheat has
been carried over the state. In pre-
eding years farmers carry ing it for
ward made nothing by it, and this sea-
son they have done the opposite. The
granaries are comparatively empty
and there is but little wheat in store.
Southwest of the Manitoba lines the
prospect is that the stocks in the
Northwest will be lower than at the
beginning of the new crop in several
/ wears.

The North American in discuss
ing the flag business observes very
pOintedly:
1t should be suggested to those organs
who are crying down the flag talk with
Il great waste of ink, paper and inge-
nuity, and who are constantly accus-
ing Republican journals of political
motives in keeping it up, when in real
ity they are keeping it up themselves,
that it will serve them no good purpose
to sneer at the soldiers as they have
been doing. 1t will not help their de-
fence of the President to say that
General Fairchild can have the latter
ed flags for a shroud, or that the Grand
Army boys may have them to make
panties for their children. They will
more fully realize the force of their
excellent irony when they see finally
where it hits. Theirs is the bitter talk
that comes from the pot that is black,
and it is their desperate effort to turn
blunder to account which is keeping
up the discussion. They talk of Re-
publican malice and plots with the
Juror of outraged innocence. They
should express their energies in kicking
themselves for their own blunders.

county seat RivaIs.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July IA special
from Garden City, Kansas, says: In
February last the enumeration was
taken to fix the temporary county seat
of Morton county, Kansas. The
enumeration reported favorable to
Richfield. and Gov. Martin designated
that town as county seat and appoint
ed temporary officers. Frisco, another
candidate for the honor, rebelled
against this, and held an election for
officers, and the county now has two
county seats with two sets of county
officers. News comes here this evening
that the rivalry between the two towns
is anything but friendly, and it is ex-
pected every day that firearms will be
resorted to. a riot is imminent, and
there seems to be no remedy to avoid it.

a DIEEEREMOE

Why are not the political hOWlers out
lifting up their distracted voices again?
Have they not heard of the terrible af-
front to be offered to patriotism on the
great battle field in PENNSYLVANIA? The
survivors of the Philadelphia brigade
proposed to celebrate the anniversary
of the Gettysburg battle on the ground
where they fought, and they have in
yited the confederate survivors of the
rebel General Pickett's division tOmeet
with them. The brigade veterans have
applied to the government for the con-
federate flags which they captured from
the Pickett division that they may re-
turn them to the Pickett survivors on
the spot where they were taken. This
is an example of magnanimity over
which the distressed politician must
weep in silence. He cannot abuse the
old veterans who have concluded to
perform a magnanimouB act on great
battlefield of the war. The boys in blue
made the sacrifice and they know how
to be generous. 1t is the politicians
who sustained no active relation to the
war that are unforgiving and exacting.
*. Q. Star.
They have a perfect right to be
generous with what belongs to them,
and which was purchased by their
blood. This action by these gallant
Pennsylvanians will do much to close
the bloody chasm, and when the John
MES look on the flags restored to them
they will be a strong bond of friend
ship and a reminder of union generosi-
ty. But suppose these flags to have
been taken from the capital by Cleve-
land, who is so willing to be generous
with the peoples property, and re-
turned to these ex-confederates. How
different the feeling that would be en-
gendered. Not a veteran in the entire
G. A. r. but would glory in returning
every flag in the country under cir
cumstances similar to those proposed
for Gettysburg.

I'm RrIcf ami 10 the Pam,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspep-
tics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this
sad business and making the Ameri-
can people so healthy that they can
enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Atchison, for lack of funds in the
city treasury, is in a dilemma, being
without gas or electric lights on the
streets, without fire department, po-
lice force, and with the city water sup
ply cut off. The Champion, in referr-
ing to the matter, says:
To be left in darkness, without gas
or electric light, to have the city wa
ter supply cut off, to have the fire de-
partment practically disbanded and
the police force dismissed, which seems
to be the only alternative under the
circumstances, will leave our city in a
very bad and dangerous condition. In
case of fire, property would be exposed
to total destructloni in case of
sudden influx of thugs, such
as are more than likely to follow in the
wake of the circus which will be here on
Saturday, crimes of all sorts could he
committed with impunity, and the law
less elements be in control of the city.
This is certainly deplorable prospect,
and possible condition of affairs which
the city OF Atchison cannot afford, and
should not, under any circumstances, at
any sacrifice or cost permit. The good
name and orderly character of our city
would be in jeopardy, and the POSSIBLE
ties of disastrous consequences, conse-
quences not to be measured by any mon
etary value, might follow, to our loss and
sorrow. The lives and property of our
citizens are at stake, and some means
should be devised, and devised at once,
whereby this unfortunate state of
things may be averted. The Champion
suggests that meeting be called at the
Real Estate exchange some time to-day
for conference and consultation, and
that immediate steps be taken for tenn
porary relief, at least. The council is
powerless to do other than has been
done. 1t now rests upon our property
owners and business men generally to
put their heads together and cooperate
with the council in arranging a way out
of this dilemma. The Champion has
sounded the alarm. Now let the pee
pie act and act at once.

Juggling Northwest Wheat.

CHICAGO. July Ia special from
Minneapolis, Mimi, says: There were
some . 500 600 bushels of wheat in store
on the lines of the Manitoba and North
ern Pacific Railroads in Minnesota and
Dakota outside of Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Duluth. About half of il
belongs to Minneapolis millers and the
remainder TO few elevator companies.
That the wheat is sold for August de-
livery to some extent at Duluth and
Chicago and is held in the country for
carrying charges. The whole of it will
come ont of July and August and be
delivered at Minneapolis if prices there
should be pushed up by mill demand
above the value at the point Of sale.

THE Washington Republican, apro-
pos of the flags incident, calls to mind
the fact that lin 1882 two regimental
associations, formed from the 1OSth
Ohio and the 5lst Pennsylvania, ap-
piled to the secretary of war for the
return of their regimental flags cap
tured by the confederates, recaptured
by the union troops and in possession
of the war department, and were told
that these flags were the property of
the government and could only be dis
posed of by congress. Each of the as
sociations applied to congress, and by
acts approved August 8, 1882, were
given the flags

FoundaCOrpse.

CINCINNATI, July 2.-Late last night
two farmers coming into the city found
a dead body in the road near Union
bridge over Clough creek in the eastern
part of the city. They saw he had been
murdered by being shot through the
breast, and they saw the foot prints of
two men leading into an adjOining corn
field. Later the body was. identified as
that of Henry Stone, farm hand, en-
ployed by Adam Young, living one mile
further up the creek. Stone had been
sent with a team to the city and was
returning when he was killed. His
horses were stopped at the toll gate at
80 this morning. 1t Is not known yet
what was the motive for the murder.

paper has been examining the docu-
ments on file in the war department
and finds that Robert Il. Lincoln, as
secretary of war, in 1881 made the rec

of one martyred president and the sec
rotary of another was guilty of advo-

The Tribune is either behind the

that the battle-flag resolutions were
